Re: Milk storage???? Re-refrigerating??

I personally never reheat thawed and warmed milk, I do use it at room temp for the very next feeding. My question is why aren't you nursing at night? Why feed pumped milk? Nursing a hungry baby whenever he is hungry is what signals your body to make milk.

Re: Milk storage???? Re-refrigerating??

I am nursing at night as well as all day but it seems that i have less milk at night and its not enough to fill him up and he is not content. So i started pumping the opposite breast during the day so i have something to fall back on. I just dont want to waste if i can help it.

If you nurse at night, as much as baby wants, your supply is better, and if you do this whisk cosleeping, you hardly know what is going on

The best way to boost your supply at night is to nurse at night. Cosleeping is the easiest way to do this.

How old is your baby? If he is very young, then you may be up nursing much of the night for a short time. It also may be a growth spurt where your baby wants to nurse non-stop for a few days, in which case you should let him do so. Over time, giving bottles at night will only cause your night time milk supply to decrease even more.
